Only use Netduma's Geo-Filter feature, but use qos function from Asus Router

[Chaiyoabc]

As my Asus QoS is far more superior than Netduma's it has better algorithms and better consistency in Black Ops 4, I would like to use Qos function provided by Asus RT-AC88u. 

But I also want to keep such unique Geo-Filter feature from Netduma with Anti-Bufferbloat turned off. 

Is there anyway to do this ? 

does dmz method help?

Thank you

Well i've never tried anything like this, but I think it could work.

• Have the ASUS router connected to your modem, apply your QoS settings
• Connect the LAN port of the ASUS to the WAN port on your R1
• Go to System Information on R1, write down WAN IP, put this WAN IP into the DMZ on the ASUS
• Go to QoS on R1, Anti-Bufferbloat menu, tick Disable QoS
• Connect gaming device to R1, add to Geo-Filter
• Use Geo-Filter as you normally would

Hopefully, by putting the WAN IP into the DMZ of the ASUS, you'll avoid any double-NAT issues.

Out of interest could you expand on why you think their QoS is better than ours? Is it purely subjective based on gameplay or have you done tests?

Can this be done with an XR300 in place of the R1?

Hey, welcome to the forum!

Yes this would work with the XR300 but I would say you'd definitely be missing out on the state of the art QoS that the XR series provides with DumaOS.

Thanks Fraser, happy to be here.

I'm willing to experiment with the QoS feature, I'm completely open to getting the best of both worlds. I just purchased an AX11000 and right now it offers some features not yet released in any equivalent Nighthawk Pro routers, namely WiFi-6. At this point I'm dropping half a grand a pop, so I want to be sure I'm maximizing my return on investment for a couple of years at least.

It's certainly up to you how you have it set up, what you could do is do ISP hub > XR (WiFi off) > AX (AP mode). That way all your WiFi devices would benefit from WiFi 6 and all devices would appear as though they are individually connected to the XR so you could control them all with QoS, Geo-Filter etc. Then you get the best of both worlds!

Hello can someone help me? I want to combine my asus rog ax6000 router with my Netgear Nighthawk XR1000 router. I want to use some features of my asus like QOS and a feature of the Netduma Geofiltering. Is it possible to do this on my PS5? Can someone help me how i can do this?

I have already connected my lan from asus router to the wan port of my XR1000.

If i want to use some VPN with my asus and the Geofilter of my XR1000. Is this even possible on my PS5?

Thank you in advance.

You can but it's not very efficient overall. If you use the VPN on the Asus then you would have to apply it to the XR1000 as a whole which would in turn then VPN the console and any other devices connected to the XR. There isn't much you need to do though, you have it connected correctly so apply the various settings on each router as you wish.

So if i want to get my geofilter working i need to connect my ps5 with the XR1000 and not with the asus router?

Yes, the XR can only control devices that are directly connected to it
